LEMONY ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH SHAVED CHEESE AND NUTS
Less is more when it comes to asparagus, especially those first tender stalks that show up in spring. Here they're quickly steamed and turned into an elegant salad tossed with a lemony, shallot dressing, and enriched with plenty of grated Manchego or other cheese. Chopped pistachios add another shade of green to the plate along with their sweet crunch, but use any nuts you like, or skip them entirely. This tangy, bright salad doesn't need them.

ASPARAGUS VINAIGRETTE
Asparagus is at its flavorful best for only a short time, usually between March and May, when you'll want to avail yourself of its abundance. There are, of course, a number of ways to prepare and serve asparagus, but this method, in which it is paired with a savory vinaigrette, is one of Martha's seasonal favorites.

Steps:
- Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt, and the asparagus. Return to a boil, and cook until asparagus are bright green and tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to ice bath to cool. Drain well, pat dry, and transfer to a serving platter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and sugar. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk in oil. Add lemon zest and tarragon; whisk to combine. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. Drizzle over asparagus. Serve immediately, or let stand at room temperature for up to 30 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, seasonal asparagus. Look for spears that are firm and green, with tight tips.
- If you don't have toasted hazelnuts on hand, you can make your own by toasting them in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- To make the lemon vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- For a more flavorful salad, marinate the asparagus in the vinaigrette for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
